Street Fighter x Tekken sales

coderkind — Tue, 15 May 2012 22:14:50 +0000

Interesting to hear that Street Fighter x Tekken hasn’t hit the sales targets Capcom were expecting. Can’t say I’m surprised as I’m firmly in the “disappointed” camp after buying the Special Edition version of the game (and this is from someone who absolutely loves the various flavours of Street Fighter IV).

Great discussion in the comments that are well worth reading. Trying to get something down on computer about the whole topic but brain too full right now (for a change).

Half-Byte Loader on PS Vita

Interesting article on Eurogamer on Half-Byte Loader on the PlayStation Vita. I’ve messed about with the PlayStation Suite SDK and it seems really accessible and fun to use, so it’s a shame to read about the restrictions on it towards the bottom of the article (no open source, signing contracts, etc). If the SDK terms were friendly enough towards developers I’m sure a whole range of interesting and wonderful apps would spring up for the device.

Still intregued by the Vita (even though I can’t afford one). Sony…if you’re listening… *cough*

WWE Brawlstick mod

coderkind — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 22:22:53 +0000

I finally got around to doing something I’d wanted to try for a long time; to mod a joystick. I think the last time I’d touched naked electronics was back when I was 14 or 15 at school (quite a long time ago now), so the project was quite exciting (and a little bit scary). Thankfully it all went really well; I found the experience rewarding and the end result I’m very happy with. I took a series of photos outlining each of the steps, so if interested please check them out.

Terrific homage to the NES in the form of Abobo’s Big Adventure (via Kotaku). Will try and source a NES USB adaptor in order to play it properly!

Bought myself an iCade (finally). Managed to get hold of one for £40 from PC World (great deal) and it works great with the iPad.

Really interesting interview with Takashi Nishiyama, the man who designed the original Street Fighter while at Capcom. Responsible for a lot of gaming goodness, it’s a very good read.
